A reimagined traditional party game for the digital age

Summary

Bring Me is a traditional Filipino game, ever-present at children's birthday parties. It's pretty straightforward: one person acts as host and calls out random items to bring over, then players rush over to be the first to bring them. The requests can be as simple as "Bring Me... a plastic fork" or as oddly specific as "Bring Me... two people with glasses wearing something shorts."

After attending an AWS meetup where they talked about Amplify and its different libraries, my husband and I were inspired to develop something using that technology. Using object detection, we created a digital version of Bring Me.

To quickly test out how it could work using a phone, I gathered my roommates and played a round using our group chat. We all took turns being the host and gave specific prompts.
